We couldn't get a fix into the OS right away, so we put a fixed version into lldb.  You will only use it if you define LLDB_USE_BUILTIN_DEMANGLER, presumably you wouldn't do that on Windows.

As an aside, we also use this on FreeBSD, as the system demangler
currently has some shortcomings and fails to demangle certain sysmbols
(but doesn't crash, at least).
